This week Anna enlightens us on the magic of kefir grains, which aren't actually grains! Yes, the deceit starts early in this episode. Anyway, Anna gets into the captivating details of how someone was genuinely kidnapped over these non-grains. And is everyone the asshole in this story? We have NO clue!

Today, we share the spicy details of two different rabbit scandals: The Peacebunny Foundation, and the Attack of the Killer Swamp Rabbit! The latter speaks for itself, but the story of Peacebunny Foundation captures the essence of 'The Dark Knight's' quote, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." And why are rabbits attacking the president?! We have NO clue!

Minisode 2 is afoot, like the tip-tapping feet of 16 tiny ducklings. We're reading homestead-ish Reddit stories like it's nobody's business, because it's definitely not ours! And we're not saying Anna and Hank the Bank Cat are the same person, we're just saying we've never seen them in the same room together.
